Recent Updates from Falls Church Democrats
Dear Falls Church Democrats,
Tomorrow is the big day. I have no prediction (to be honest, I never make predictions, I'm terrible at it), but I will say that Democrats seem incredibly fired up all over the country, wherever I've encountered them in my volunteering. Let's all stay positive, and do whatever we can in these last moments to make sure we leave it all on the field!
#1 Please vote tomorrow if you haven't already. Polls are open from 6am through 7pm. If you aren't sure of your polling place, check it at www.iwillvote.com
#2 Please volunteer if you can! There are very important ballot cure phone calls around the country, especially in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Here are some links:
At 5:30 am, NC Dems will receive data on voters who need to be called – this will include absentee ballot applicants who haven’t turned in their ballots – Chase calls. We don’t know if we should anticipate 5,000 calls or 75,000 calls.

#3 Finally, please join us and Delegate Marcus Simon for an Election Night Watch Party tomorrow night at Clare and Don's!
Good evening FCCDC members and friends,
We are only five days away from the most important election of our lives. I know we say that often, but I think the signs are clear all around us that we are sliding down the slope towards fascism--if you are Black, LGBTQ+, an immigrant, Jewish, or love someone who is, you're feeling it more than anyone. But they do not yet have the ability to win unless we don't show up to vote! So it is urgent that you vote, that you reach out to your friends and family and urge them to vote, and that you volunteer to help get out the vote beyond that. And then, Tuesday night, when you've done all you could, join us to watch the Election Night returns together at Clare and Don's with Delegate Simon.

Election Night Watch Party, co-hosted by FCCDC and Delegate Simon:
Dear Falls Church Democrats,
The midterm elections are just 10 days away! With the increased domestic terrorist violence spurred on and encouraged by GOP leaders (like our own Governor Youngkin, who made a joke about the brutal attack on Speaker Pelosi's husband), the attacks on women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, and the threats to roll back progress on stopping climate change, the stakes could not be any higher. The future of our democracy really hangs on the outcome November 8th.
So if you haven't already, please go vote ASAP. Early voting continues at the registrar's office in City Hall, including a very special "Souls to the Polls Sunday" tomorrow October 30th from 12 noon to 3pm, as well as extended hours on Wednesday Nov 2nd (open until 7pm). The last day to early vote is Saturday November 5th, from 9am to 5pm. If you don't make it by then, we'll see you at your ward precinct on Election Day, Tuesday November 8th. Polls open from 6am through 7pm.
*Please volunteer if you can!*

Join the DNC Call Crew for our Zoom-based phone bank! We will get together on Zoom, talk about the calls we are making, and get started! **NEW TO CALLING WITH US?** No worries! The Zoom phone bank includes a brief training so all new callers will be talking to voters in no time! **MADE CALLS BEFORE?...FCCDC strongly denounces & opposes the new policy regarding the treatment of transgender students proposed by the Youngkin Administration. We sincerely hope our School Board rejects this unlawful new policy & continues to follow the evidence-based policies currently in place.
